Editors Note

As the fallen leaves were buried under thick layers of snow, we waved farewell to past memories and welcomed a mini-term full of exciting activities and a winter term of many snow days and fun events. Winter, as much as the general public falsely assumes because of the cold weather that usually accompanies it, is not sedentary at all at Bement. Snow was in itself an allure: building snowmen, snowball fights, and skiing, together with this year’s miniterm theme “dancing and singing,” students had no trouble keeping their bodies warm. The chilling wind was just the perfect excuse for having s’mores over the fire outdoors.

But winter wasn’t just the sweetness of marshmallows, it was also the spicy Chinese and Korean dishes for Lunar New Year, and the firstever Bement-made sushi wrapped around salty seaweed. Along that same note of trying something new, a shoutout to Bement magazine members who founded the Creative writing club and congratulations to all the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards winners! Last but not least, I want to thank everyone on the team for your dedication, creativity, and hard work; this edition would not have been possible without your contributions. Now, let's flip the page and begin a new chapter.
